He's Just a Cowboy

A Selection from Secrets and Lies

By: Lisa Jackson

Narrated by: Renee Raudman

For six agonizing years Heather Tremont Leonetti tried to make a lie of the breathless summer when rodeo rider Turner Brooks broke her innocence and branded her heart. But now only the truth could save her most precious, cherished memento. Which meant she'd have to beg the help of the one man who could drive her to her knees - the proud, unforgiving loner she'd loved ... the unforgettable cowboy who'd sired her son.

Critic reviews

"Lisa Jackson takes my breath away." ( New York Times best-selling author Linda Lael Miller)

Romance

I enjoyed the story but I have to say when the narrator talk for the male character it she made him sound like a old man who h was weird

good, but...

Would you try another book from Lisa Jackson and/or Renee Raudman?

This is not my favorite lisa Jackson book... but it was okay. As far as the narrator, she needs to work on a the males voice.

What aspect of Renee Raudman’s performance would you have changed?

The voice for turner makes him sound like an old man not a twenty, then thirty something year old. Otherwise the narration was fine.

Just ok

Would you try another book from Lisa Jackson and/or Renee Raudman?

Yes, I would. I've read Thorn's Challenge and loved it, so I was looking for the same intense romance and passon but it was not there. Renee did a good job narrating but the storyline was predictable and at times a strain on lthe ear and brain.

If you’ve listened to books by Lisa Jackson before, how does this one compare?

Thorn's Challenge was full of challenges, sexual tension,deep hot passion, love and family.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Renee Raudman?

yes, I though she did a fine job. Turner's voice could have been a little softer but all around it was ok.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

If I didn't read the book I probably would.

Any additional comments?

This was an ok book. I kept saying to myself that Turner was a jerk and Heather was a whim. She talked tough but wimped out when she was supposed to stand tough. Of course, Turner came around in the end just as I though he would, very predictable. I will definitely read more of Lisa Jackson's work but I will have to scan for better reading.

Just A Cowboy!

Very enjoyable story. Ending predictable, journey more than interesting. What I found so interesting was that Turner was such a jerk. I don't know how she found him interesting because I would have given him the finger and went on about my business. However, for storytelling it must have been his looks because his personality imo sucked. But to read in between some of my more heavy duty reading/listening this was perfect. Glad it was so cheap because I wouldn't suggest spending a credit on it.

The narrator was ok, however she made Turner sound like a 50 year old man, with a smokers, whiskey drinking voice, which added nothing to his already flawed personality.

I did not care for the narrator.

I liked the story, but I thought the narrator made everyone sound elderly. It made hard to imagine the characters, and hard to listen to.

Another great book by Lisa Jackson

I just recently found Lisa Jackson and have read both of her cowboy books(Secrets & Lies) and loved them both. The storylines were both entertaining and with likeable heros and heroines. I look forward to reading more of her books.

story as expected

the story was what I expected in this series and genre.. the narrator's masculine voice of the main male character was ridiculous. it sounded as if he was a 75 year old miner from the 1800's. quite difficult to think of him as an attractive, sexy hero. annoying.

Pretty average

Would you try another book from Lisa Jackson and/or Renee Raudman?

Never say never

Would you ever listen to anything by Lisa Jackson again?

Yes if the summary interested me enough

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

None of the above sparked a response

Turner is just the biggest jerk ever

What would have made He's Just a Cowboy better?

Turner was such a horrible person. He was never even nice to Heather. It wasn't enjoyable to listen because it was like listening to an abusive relationship.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Renee Raudman?

Just ok. Made the main characters are sound older than they were supposed to be.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from He's Just a Cowboy?

Every scene that Turner was in.

Any additional comments?

Very disappointing.
